Renewables – solar

Schools could miss out on £1.5bn in savings if the Government pushes ahead with plans to scrap solar power tariffs, research compiled for The Daily Telegraph has revealed. The Government late last month confirmed those installing solar panels would no longer be paid for generating solar power or for exporting any excess electricity they generate back to the grid, as they currently are. It said it would be ending the generation tariff and the export tariff from next April, both of which are part of the feed-in tariffs scheme.

Gov thinking seems to have finally caught up with reality - main question is not how best to make the taxpayer cough up for new nuclear. No justification for spending our money on outdated technology when renewables cheaper, quicker to build and cleaner.
